Beautiful piece of handiwork

Posted by Ashley on Oct 12th 2016

I highly recommend this beautiful, handcrafted lame for any home baker interested in bread. Not only is it an exceptionally gorgeous tool, it is very easy to use (blade removal & insertion is very simple and if you are careful, not dangerous) and it functions spectacularly. I have tried everything in my kitchen and junk drawer to slash bread without a professional lame like this--from my sharpest knives, to my most serrated knives, to Exacto knives and kitchen scissors--and absolutely nothing has worked. This lame makes the slashing easy and fast, just like it should be for perfectly slashed bread. I was actually surprised when I used it, because I have had such difficulty with the task in the past. Thanks to the Zabota lame, I am able to keep my loaves beautiful, instead of mangling them like before.
Also, sent with the lame was a little container with potting soil and a surprise seed that I can plant, sent as a gift from the company. How adorable! I'm already eying the black walnut pizza cutter, too... :)

How did I live without this beautifully crafted tool!?

Happy, happy, happy!
Now I need the whisk!

Product Description

Slash beautiful patterns in dough with this French style knife. Professional bakers use this tool (called a lame - pronounced lahm) to slash loaves before baking to allow rapid dough expansion. This results in a light fluffy bread with crisp aromatic crust. Each lame is lovingly cut from walnut and polished by hand in the USA. The brass thumbnuts make blade replacement quick and easy. The unique design is great for deep cuts and versatile slashing patterns. Portion of proceeds donated to the World Food Program.
